Now is an exciting time to be preparing a new open publishing platform (nmop.io). Feels like there's something in the air. We're finally reaching breaking point with big commercial publishers. 🎉 Hoping to start building it in earnest some time this year. 🤞
Neuroscientists shunning Elsevier, and Political Philosophers abandoning Wiley. Is the big 5 commercial publishing house of cards about to collapse? Where’s the free labour going to come from now? AI editors and reviewers? #EthicalPublishing

A short argument for why I think the big publishers cannot be part of a publishing reform effort. See the full (but still short) article over on Mastodon at neuromatch.social/@neuralrec… or below for a short summary.

Il faudrait surtout que les publications soient gratuites pour tout le monde... Et qu'elles s'adressent au plus grand nombre, pas seulement à une petite communauté de scientifiques #OpenScience @NoFee_Science

This is correct, and it's so satisfying to read the EiC of @eLife saying it.
Replying to @mbeisen
The solution - something we should all now be fighting for - is a system in which global science funders are taxed (in a highly progressive manner) to support key publishing services with no transaction costs of any kind. Nobody pays to publish. Nobody pays to read.

From #NoFeeScience manifesto, 2019: "While we may be seeing the beginning of a switch to open access...profit-based publishing groups will be allowed adapt their fees + continue, unchecked, their work of funnelling public money into private interests via the imposition of APCs."
Replying to @NatureNeuro
In this scenario, the cost of publication is covered by an Article Processing Charge (APC) paid at the time of publication. The APC for Nature Neuroscience in 2022 is €9,500/US $11,390/£8,290.

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

Deux ans depuis qu'on a publié ce texte (signé par 100+ scientifiques) chez @Reporterre, où on a souligné en quoi la lutte pour une science vraiment démocratique + la lutte pour un environnement sain ne font qu'une. Malheureusement, il a pas pris une ride. reporterre.net/Face-au-recha…

D'après OpenAPC, @inserm est de loin le plus gros payeur d'APC en France sur l'année 2020; ça s'explique peut-être par l'implantation de l'inserm dans les CHU, où s'applique le SIGAPS ? @hervemaison @FredRiondet

Best argument? In order to gain access to knowledge produced by public money, the public is obliged to turn to an illegal platform. This widely known fact is exploited by anti-science voices and contributes to public distrust in the scientific enterprise. Voilà.

This is why all scientific output should be FREELY accessible to anyone and not behind any paywall. #NoFeeScience #OpenScience – at New Haven, CT
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the responsibilities we have as scientists outside the lab/the office. Since (at least in Germany), #research is publicly funded, it means that we owe it to the public to inform them how and why we spend their tax money. @AcademicChatter

So Science now sits on a web platform owned by Wiley. They are not unique in that dependency of course: the PLOS submission system is owned by Elsevier, and more and more society journals are published by big commercial players (JBC a recent switch) atypon.com/news/aaas-moves-s…

Today is Sci-Hub anniversary the project is 10 years old! I'm going to publish 2,337,229 new articles to celebrate the date. They will be available on the website in a few hours (how about the lawsuit in India you may ask: our lawyers say that restriction is expired already)
